Jeff,

$ ls -l `which procmail`

might raise the cluon flux a tad.

Specifically, procmail has the suid bits set.  Even root isn't allowed
to connect to an X server (at least, in the default Deb setup).  I'm
guessing that maybe RedHats' procmail switched uid to the user the mail
is addressed to, but Debians' doesn't.
